Summer Project

So we broke up about a week ago and I am starting to the think about the project they set us for over the summer:

An Alternative Portrait.

Over the summer break produce a piece of work that can be described as a portrait. Your work could be film, photographic, drawn, collage or purely typographic. Enjoy.

I am trying to come up with a list of worthy subjects. Some are cliched but this is intentional as I could do something very different to the portraits with which we are all too familiar...

Shortlist - People
Ian Curtis
Che Guevara
Robert de Niro
Joni Mitchell
Cary Grant
Michael Jackson
Bob Marley
Arthur Lee
The Beatles
Keith Richards
Gene Kelly

Shortlist - Places
New York
Bath
Paris

Shortlist - Events
9/11
2011 Wimbledon Men's Singles Final

For the Wimbledon Final, I was thinking of maybe producing a reversable flipbook - on one side you have Nadal scratching his ass and sniffing his fingers, flip it over and you get  Djokovic bouncing the ball endlessly before each serve. Just an idea...
